YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!

Farcical False Flag Threatens World War Three.

Russia and the US on the Brink of Armed Conflict.

The Battle for Eastern Ghouta is over, Syria and her allies have reclaimed the six-year long insurgent stronghold in a two month military operation that has provoked an extremely dangerous tantrum from the West and their allies that has the US and Russia in a rhetorical state of war and seemingly on the path to armed conflict.

The US, Britain and France have promised a strong joint response to the preposterous lie they are perpetrating of the “chemical attack” in Eastern Ghouta’s now evacuated insurgent enclave, Douma.

This quote from Tass encapsulates the complete lack of evidence in Douma on all fronts very well.

“Syrian doctors in Douma have dismissed the rumors they had received patients suffering from chemical poisoning. In an interview to the media doctor Yaser Abdel Majid, of the city hospital, said that they had never received patients with chemical poisoning either last weekend or since the beginning of hostilities in Syria,” the reconciliation center said.

Earlier, staffers of the Russian center for reconciliation had questioned doctors and other personnel of Douma’s hospital. The medics said that “all those who had received their medical aid had ordinary injuries, fractures and fragmentation and gunshot wounds.”

Eyewitness Accounts.

There has been confirmation of this from ambulance driver Ahmed Saur, who has worked in one of Douma’s districts for the past several years and by virtue of his profession sees the patients doctors go to.

“On April 6-8 we had not a single patient suffering from chemical poisoning. Only ordinary war wounds,” he said.

Earlier Syrian Red Crescent Society doctors told the media all rumors about patients with chemical poisoning were not true.

Also, the reconciliation center said “militants leaving the city have been questioned and none of them knew anything about chemical weapons allegedly used against them.”.

This story is ultimately as realistic as if the Western media now reported on fierce clashes in Douma with the insurgents of Jaish al Islam fighting to the last man and inflicting severe casualties on the “regime” Army when in reality, the final batch are in the process of evacuation!

That fact is every bit as concrete as the fact that the doctors working in the Douma hospital reported to the Russian military investigators sent to the precise hospital depicted as an attack site in the Jaish al Islam/ White helmet video depicting the alleged attack and discovered no traces of any chemical weapon having been used, no patients in the hospital as a result of any chemical attack, and no dead bodies anywhere who died in the clearly fraudulent and fictional “attack”.

The claim from the Syrian American Medical Society of 500 casualties in Douma on April 7th, like the white Helmets, and the insurgents themselves, the SAMS is a cynical propaganda outfit heavily funded by a Western Government. ALl of the supposed sources for this, literally are on the payroll of France, US, Britain, Israel or Saudi Arabia. (Source)

Even the departing insurgents of Jaish al islam claimed no knowledge of any chemical weapon incident, although there is an overwhelming likelihood that when they arrive in Idlib they will become participants upon their masters orders.

One of the four thousand people released from the captivity of Jaish al islam as part of the evacuation deal related being made to participate in a faux chemical attack filmed in 2015.

“A Syrian civilian who was freed from Jaish al-Islam captivity in Douma on Monday, recounted how the militant group had allegedly forced him to participate in a “pretend” chemical weapons attack scene that they then filmed, back in 2015. “We went [to Douma] and they [Jaish al-Islam] gathered us and forced us to take our shirts off, and said ‘the army is about to use chemical weapons,'” Mohammed Khudr Mousa stated from Salamiyah on Wednesday. “‘You should pretend chemical weapons were used against you and that you cannot breathe. We will pour water on you to revive you,'” he recalled his captors saying. Khudr Mousa went on to describe how a doctor held captive by the militant group was allegedly “forced to fill syringes, pretending that he was injecting us to revive us.” “They [Jaish al-Islam] poured water on us, and forced us to pretend we were unconscious according to their wishes. They brought a camera and filmed us,” he alleged. In an off-camera comment, he told Ruptly that he was not able to say whether the video he was part of was published. ” (Source)

That description closely matches what is depicted in the White Helmets/Jaish al islam footage privdied to a baying Western media in support of the work of fiction they were jointly creating.

Forget about facts, we are the West!

But none of that matters at this point. The US navy is heading to the eastern Mediterranean, the Russian navy are conducting a two-week live fire exercise in the Mediterranean, one mistake or carefully staged provocation is all that it is going to take to propel Russia and the US into a shooting war that could easily escalate into Armageddon.

What is happening is actually rather simple, the jihadists have failed so now the West is going to fight a conventional war against Syria, Iran and Russia themselves.

The defeat that is being inflicted upon the West, Israel and Saudi Arabia, simply cannot be borne. Therefore as the insurgency fades into history they are to be replaced by the armed forces of the US, UK, France and whomever else is willing.

Russia has warned of “grave consequences” should the US and allies attack Syria on the back of their ridiculous, despicable and transparent lie. But it seems that the Western leadership and policy elite are suffering from psychotic delusions of such magnitude that they do not understand the dangerous consequences this course of action may initiate.

Even those who expressed some skepticism about the fictional chemical attack (was it Sarin, Chlorine or both?) and the wisdom of a military response like Tucker Carlson seem utterly unaware of the risks involved. These people still believe that the potential costs of any operation can be safely assessed alongside Libya, Iraq and other recent adventures, but the situation is quite different.

South Front graphic depicts US naval assets currently located in and around the Eastern Mediterranean. In around ten days they are expected to be joined by a carrier group.

The US President reiterated the threat and plainly stated that the US is going to attack Syrian with missiles in a 4am tweet. Mika Brzezinski on MSNBC’s Morning Joe offered an unintentionally comical response to the tweet, stating that “at least he is focused on Russia” (Source)

It really doesn’t matter who is pretending to be the President, that is a con. Still it is hard to ignore the fact that this is a piece of human garbage.

Trump then, minutes later issued a seemingly contradictory, “conciliatory” tweet towards Russia and then returned to form, whining that the FBI and Democrats were at fault for the strained Russia US relationship as though he were a mere onlooker rather than an up to his neck in it participant.

The tweet issued by the US President shortly after threatening Russia directly. Stop making sense!In tweet number three the President returns to a favourite conversational theme-narcissistic whining and deflection.

None of it made any sense and the truth is that the ruling elite will use the US military to do what they want regardless of any President. Not that Trump offers anything resembling resistance, it is just that it would scarcely matter even if he was capable of doing so.

Either the US and it’s allies will see sense and do nothing; Russia will make discretion the better part of valor and let the US attack Syria, exposing them as a paper tiger and nonentity, or something absolutely terrible is about to happen.

What is going to happen next?

As genuinely disturbing and truly disgusting as the developing situation is, the prospects of a large-scale military conflict between the US and Russia in the near future is far from inevitable.

Neither the US or Russia are looking for thermonuclear war but the infantile and delusional mindset of the current Western leadership make armed conflict with Russia almost inevitable at some point and once it starts, it is entirely possible that mutual escalation can very quickly become mutual destruction.

SouthFront published an analysis of the most likely potential scenarios any escalation may take.

It seems a sober and realistic assessment, although I would add that along with conflict between the US and Russia, a regional war involving some combination of Saudi Arabia and Israel against some combination of Iran and Hezbollah is also very, very possible in the coming weeks.

The longer the leaders of the Western criminal faction (Italy and Germany have opted out) hesitate the more the evidence of their lies is developed and the more embarrassment they will face if they continue on the delusional path they are on. The farcical nature of this story is not going to avoid the light of day for long, even the walking dead are going to realise this is pure nonsense at some point in the near future.

An Accurate Forecast and an Unmistakable Threat.

Another ridiculous element of this story is that on numerous occasions during the past several months the Russian military have told the world that a false flag chemical attack was being prepared in Eastern Ghouta.

Following a typically deluded and infantile speech at the UN from the US representative Nikki Haley, Chief of the Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov outlined in detail on March 13th the scenario that is now unfolding and also clearly stated that the Russian military are embedded within the Syrian military in Syria, any attack on the Syrian military will be tantamount to an attack on the Russian military and in this case Russia will target both the missiles and the launch platforms for the missiles.

He is clearly saying that “if you attack the Syrian military we will hit your missiles, jets and ships”.

At that point, the situation will be very close to cataclysmic, and all because the West, Israel and Saudi Arabia cannot accept the defeat that is being inflicted upon their proxy army in Syria.

This statement may be responsible for dissuading the US. Trump after all is used to humiliation, he does it to himself everyday and he was the only person who was foolish enough to flat-out state they were going to attack Syria.

The final battle map of Eastern Ghouta, April 12th, 2018.Russian military police in Douma.April 2018.

The Battle of Eastern Ghouta.

In order to understand just how farcical and pathetic these latest lies are, it must be understood that the battle for Eastern Ghouta was over to the point that other militant factions were already evacuating Douma.

The Syrian military and allies had no motive to change what they had been doing for the last six to eight weeks, during which a well conceived and executed operation had seen the previously impregnable enclave overrun with relative ease.

In a matter of weeks the six year old enclave was split into three isolated pockets by a Syrian/Russian military operation that by April 7th, had reclaimed 87% of the enclave, reducing a 110km square pocket to a threadbare and doomed 14km square.

During the month of March militants and their families were completely evacuated from the other major districts of Ghouta, Harasta and Jobar.

Parts of Eastern Ghouta have now been completely cleared and life is returning to normal, schools are reopening. The very notion that the Syrian Government has used chemical weapons in the enclave is preposterous and contemptible.There is no possibility that the Syrian military used anything other than explosives and incendiaries when they attacked Douma on Saturday April 7th, following a breakdown in evacuation negotiations with the largest insurgent faction in Douma, the Saudi backed Jaish al Islam.

Following a single day of ground operations against their positions on April 8th, Jaish al Islam returned to the negotiating table and are now in the process of being evacuated, having released the thousands of people, soldiers and civilians they had imprisoned.

Conclusion- A Sobering Realisation.

This most childish and silly lie at this time brings a most sobering realisation.

The owners of the West genuinely believe that they own reality, they can tell any lie and do anything on the back of it and there is nothing that we, the people of the West can do about it although I would urge people to contact their local representative and politely but forcefully express their displeasure at the proposed military operation, but both the US Congress and the British Parliament are almost certainly going to be bypassed as the Western elites and their political and media prostitutes rush headlong towards cataclysm.

Anything that may help is worth trying but please understand that there is no hope within the current political system as it operates in the West, nor is there any obvious viable alternative.

It does not matter who we vote for, that is for certain and anyone who has not recognised and expressed this at this stage is either a dupe or a con artist.

Obama and Trump were only whores, that is all they ever were. Hell awaits them both and anyone who says anything positive about either is either a shill or a hapless fool. Or both, but the identity of the President is irrelevant to the policy outcome, the only question is the brand of lies they are expected to tell. That is the only thing that is at stake in the modern election.

The other very troubling understanding is that these people are never going to stop until they are forcibly halted.

They only know how to lie and kill. It is like a massive, dysfunctional evil robot that only lies and orders killing is sitting behind the entire post Cold War Western world. Not only will it not stop until the entire Middle east is destroyed, it now sadly seems that it will not stop until the West itself is destroyed.

This is a situation of almost complete megalomania, they have been lying so much for so long that they no longer know they are lying.

The combination of military power and childish delusion may well be the catalyst that triggers the end for this current world civilisation.

Las Vegas police seek cover behind their vehicle during the supposed massacre of October 1st, 2017. Confusingly the civilian bystanders remain nonchalant despite standing in the supposed line of fire of the shooter situated in the Mandalay Bay resort complex building to the left.

October 5th, 2017.

Massacre In Las Vegas:100% Proof Stephen Paddock is being framed.

By now everyone on the planet who has access to the internet or television is familiar with the blood chilling story of the massacre in Las Vegas on October 5th, 2017.

We are told that Stephen Paddock, 64 years of age, meticulously planned the attack, moving dozens of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition into his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and opened fire on the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival in the “Las Vegas Village” located at the foot of the 43 storey complex, having first used a hammer to smash two holes in the windows of the hotel in order to be able to shoot the people below.

At this point there is simply no way that story is even approximately true as photographs taken when the massacre was underway clearly show that the windows in the room Stephen Paddock was supposedly committing this mass murder operation in can be seen to be complete and intact long after the event has supposedly started.

Photograph from October 2nd shows the precise location of the shooter as revealed by the two broken windows on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel building. This long shot allows us to measure precisely the location of these holes and note they are six windows down from the spot where the grey cladding ends.This is the source for the cropped photograph below, the photo is clearly taken after the shooting is underway, that is why the police are there hiding behind their car. (Source)A cropped version of the above photograph taken during the massacre reveals that there were no holes in the windows on the 32nd floor during the massacre. Therefore irrefutably proving the official version of the event a complete lie. The implications are clear, Stephen paddock has been framed. The LVPD have not been honest in their account and either broke the windows themselves or allowed another to do so and there is no possibility, if there even was a shooting massacre, that the perpetrator or perpetrators were situated on the 32nd floor. This simply kills the story they are telling stone deadClose up of the holes enable us to more easily pin down their precise location. Each slightly to the left of the grey cladding as viewed from the outside.

The Implications.

The implications of this are that:

It is physically impossible that the massacre was conducted by a gunman on the 32nd floor room Paddock was supposedly occupying.

It is impossible that the account presented by the LVPD and FBI is accurate and complete.

It is inescapable that if the window was not broken prior to the massacre, someone else with access to the room has broken the window after the massacre in a bid to frame Mr. Paddock.

Therefore Mr. Paddock has been crudely framed by someone connected to the investigation and cannot possibly have been responsible for the killings.

This image bore no caption on RT but appears to show security forces outside a location that may be the Andrews Air Base, perhaps today, where perhaps something has taken place.

July 1st, 2016.

Shooting Reported at Andrews Air Base near Washington DC.

It is being reported on the Twitter account of the Andrews Air Force Base (correctly called Joint Base Andrews or Andrews Field)that an “active shooter” situation is unfolding and that there are casualties after an incident took place at the Malcolm Grow medical centre.

There is some confusion as to whether there has been any incident here as Joint Base Andrews later tweeted that:

“The base was scheduled to conduct an active shooter exercise, however, reports of a real-world active shooter situation were reported.” (Source)

The frequency that these terrorists attack at the time and place of drills is quite uncanny!

Earlier they tweeted “The incident is ongoing at the Malcolm Grow Medical Facility. First responders are on-scene now. All personnel continue to shelter in place ” Which strongly implies that there were casualties without saying so.

All of their tweets refer to “reports” of an active shooter and judging by the mention of the drill it seems there may have been some misunderstanding here, or the Tweets were part of the drill on the base.

The major media are reporting on this as though it were real, on the basis of the Tweets.

“All Clear” for the base with the exception of Malcolm Grow medical facility.”

It was just a drill and the only element they needed to add was a body count and rhe story would have been treated as authentic, indeed it was treated as authentic.

Stars and Stripes (cough) journalist Travis Tritten, the face of an incompetent and an imposter. Travis wrote that a shooting at Andrews AFB was confirmed and added that the gunman was holed up on the third floor. When it became clear that it was all bullshit he pathetically claimed that the Pentagon were also fooled. It is “journalists”, mindless stenographers of the state like Tritten who are key enablers of the faux events as they never ever question anything. Ever.

What was the Stars and Stripes writer Travis J. Tritten’s information that enabled him to claim that a shooter was barricaded in a third floor room of the medical centre at the Andrews AFB?

Obviously everyone knows Stars and Stripes is a straight up Soviet style propaganda rag but none the less, Travis J. Tritten you are a clown, a dunce and an imposter!

This event was one lie and one press conference away from being another episode in the Great Western Hoaxathon.

Andrews Air base-Where the 911 Stand down became downright embarrassing.

Andrews Air Force base achieved a degree of infamy due to the fact that despite it’s close proximity to Washington DC none of the jets stationed there was able to intercept American Airlines Flight 77 which is said to have struck the Pentagon 90 minutes after it became obvious the US was under attack on September 11th, 2001.

This claim may be correct or it may be the expedient explanation at the current time. The artillery attribution does not fit with the witness reports of a single large explosion rather than a description of a barrage as would generally be the case with artillery.

It is also puzzling that there were reports from a previously reliable source of an Israeli airstrike against a Hezbollah target in Syria before Mustafa Badredinne’s death was announced so I reserve judgement and assume the truth will emerge in the future but while it is theoretically possible, the chances of the Hezbollah commander in Syria, operating away from front line positions being randomly killed in a lucky artillery strike seem highly remote.

At any rate Hezbollah’s attribution must be seen as the definitive word for the time so apologies for the apparent error.

May 13th, 2016.

Hezbollah Commander Slain in Alleged Israeli Airstrike near Damascus.

In a devastating psychological blow to the forces allied with the Syrian Government an Israeli airstrike in the area near the Damascus International Airport has killed Mustafa Badreddine, a senior figure in Hezbollah, the Lebanese (largely) Shia militia fighting alongside the Syrian government forces in the Syrian war. Badreddine is said to have been 55 years of age and to be brother in law of the legendary and infamous Hezbollah figure Imad Mugniyah, also assassinated in Damascus under very different circumstances in 2008.

Mustafa Badredinne is claimed to have been commander of Hezbollah in Syria where the group have played a key role in support of the Government since 2012..

The details of the attack are still unclear with some reports mentioning a large explosion without specifying the means of delivery but all logic suggests that an air attack was conducted by the Israeli Air force as that has been the previous method of the dozen or more similar Israeli attacks against the Syrian Government forces with the May 2013 alleged tactical nuclear strike the most memorable.

Israeli Nuclear Attack on Syria, All Known Footage

In addition to air support Israel supported the jihadist insurgents in Syria with medical care along with equipment and logistical support and the support to the proscribed al Nusra Front terror group was noted in UN reports on the situation in southern Syria.

Israeli attacks on Syrian allied forces have continued despite the entrance of the Russian superpower on the loyalist side late last year and the continued presence of the highly effective S400 anti-aircraft missile systems at the Russian base in Syria so it can only be assumed that Russia and Israel have some type of agreement to allow Israeli strikes inside Syria to continue.

Syria: S-400 now deployed in Latakia to boost air defence

Such a deal would be understandable from a pragmatic point of view but are inexplicable in others. Why is Russia apparently conducting air defence stand downs and enabling the ground forces they are backing to be attacked?

Retaliatory Response?

These attacks are very dangerous because they risk provoking a response that could lead to an escalation and within hours this process could lead to an Israeli war against Lebanon as a minor Hezbollah provocation did in July 2006.

A month later more than a thousand Lebanese and forty three Israeli civilians, along with around two hundred Hezbollah fighters and 120 IDF soldiers were dead.

Several of the previous Israeli airstrikes have provoked retaliatory strikes on Hezbollah’s behalf. In January 2015 several IDF soldiers were killed and several vehicles were destroyed in rocket attacks on them in the Israeli occupied Golan Heights region of Syria following Israeli airstrikes that killed several Hezbollah fighters and an Iranian Revolutionary Guard General..

The last high-profile attack last December that killed Hezbollah figure Samir Quntar was met with a very half hearted response from Hezbollah with an I.E.D attack on an Israeli border patrol reportedly damaging several vehicles without causing any casualties.

The same will presumably be the case on this occasion. Any kind of war with Israel is completely against the interests of Hezbollah and their allies so they may do something in response but will probably have to accept the attack on Mustafa Badredinne along with all their other casualties in Syria which have been severe despite the fact that they are generally a dominant force on the battlefield.

One of the most spectacular examples of that tactical superiority came in early 2014 with the Otaida ambush, an amazing operation where a long column of insurgents were blown up after walking into an elaborate trap involving several massive bomb attacks on them as they walked through the countryside south of Damascus at night. It should be noted that the massively successful and brilliant operations like the Otaida ambush are the exception to the rule in a grinding war.

Syrian Army Kills Scores of Militants in Ambush

Syrian Army KILLS 175 Rebels in Ambush – DEAD BODIES Everywhere

No End in Sight to the Syrian Nightmare.

This latest coup on the part of the forces attempting to destroy Syria caps off a terrible period for the Syrian government forces over the past several weeks where the insurgents have won some victories, seizing the southern Aleppo town of Khan Touman and more importantly repeatedly demonstrating their ability to harass the loyalist forces and cause them to redeploy their best forces in response.

Battles for Syria | May 6th 2016 | Militants capture Khan Tuman

The detonation of a tunnel bomb under a Syrian military facility at the Aleppo front-line recently was another devastating blow against the loyalist forces leaving a reported 46 soldiers dead.

New tunnel bomb footage from Aleppo

Return from the dead | May 4th 2016

By concentrating their attacks against the weakest of the loyalist forces in rear areas the insurgents are thus able to steer the army around the battlefield meaning that the government forces are often seemingly stamping out one spot fire after another and thus the war is a near stalemate despite the continued presence of the Russian Airforce and an increasing Russian ground presence that saw another soldier killed by the insurgents this week.

A Grim Outlook.

For several weeks it almost seemed that the Cessation of Hostilities agreement was working, the level of the fighting and the areas impacted were greatly reduced with one large Syrian military hospital reporting a halving of the casualty rate but that was seemingly just a lull as the insurgents rearmed and reinforced their forces and now the cease fires all blend together in near meaninglessness as few parties to the fighting pay them any attention.

These events perhaps indicate that the anti-Syria coalition can see the light at the end of the tunnel, they are hoping that the next US administration will “do the right thing” as Obama failed to do and destroy Syria as Libya and Iraq were destroyed. Destroy the state and walk away and let the jihadists fight over the ruins.

If Hillary Clinton is elected President business as usual can be expected to resume with the final destruction of Syria an urgent priority and Herr Clinton has already indicted her support for a No-Fly Zone in Northern Syria, a step that would both contravene international law and risk nuclear war with Russia.

There are strong signs that neither side can contemplate military victory in Syria therefore the choices are to either find a political solution or allow the terrible suffering on all sides to continue while another few hundred thousand people are killed and the indifference of the opposition supporting politicians such as the Saudi, Turkish leadership to the fact that they are the authors of this mountain of suffering is remarkable.
